JBG Smith plans to tear down one of the three Tysons office buildings it bought last year and replace it with apartment units and retail in a bid to further the county’s vision for a more urban, mixed-use setting.
The D.C.-area real estate giant filed a proposal with Fairfax County to demolish the six-story building at Tysons Dulles Plaza. In its place, the REIT proposes to construct a 375-unit apartment building and two new retail buildings that will total up to 16K SF.
The proposal seeks to create a more “active, pedestrian-oriented environment” to better align with the growing “mixed-use character” of Tysons while continuing to support existing office space, according to a statement dated Friday and filed with the application.
JBG declined to comment on the proposal, which the Washington Business Journal first reported.
Under the proposal, office tenants would be relocated into the remaining two buildings. JBG said in its application that this approach would “preserve employment uses” while reinvesting in a mixed-use setting. The plan also includes adding a range of amenities such as open spaces, urban parks and a central plaza to serve residents, employees and visitors.
